The light was coming through the clouds
and it hit the neighbor's field just perfectly.
Spring Green
5" x 7" oil on panel
I'm glad I stopped and took the reference photo for this painting, one never knows what will be planted in that field next year.
I tried to keep this subject very soft and diffused to reflect the warm, hazy, cloudy atmosphere of the spring day.
I didn't push the really bright intense green that you see
in an Iowa spring. It just isn't quite believable in paint.
Those of you from the midwest know what I mean.
Maybe next time....
